Are you sure that's not a problem with some C that the Perl OpenSSL is trying to use? It certainly looks more like a C problem than a Perl one. At that point I run out of ideas because my Perl is rather weak. If I was in your shoes, I'd have followed Axb's approach and forced a complete package upgrade following by installing the extra Perl modules from the SUSE package library. I use Fedora and in my case the upgrade command would be "yum distro-sync full". I used it earlier this week to sort out a package version clash that was stopping routine updates from happening. If I have Perl problems I only use CPAN after I'm absolutely sure that the modules I need aren't in the distro repository: I trust yum's dependency checking rather more than that of CPAN. Martin
